California roads kill 44,000 deer a year, UC Davis estimates. Highway 50 is a hotspot

Vehicles kill an estimated 44,000 mule deer and 780 mountain lions on California roads each year, according to a new UC Davis report that identified hundreds of wildlife collision hotspots across the state, including a stretch of Highway 50 in El Dorado County. The 2026 California Roadkill Hotspots Report, released Tuesday by the university’s Road Ecology Center, found that wildlife collisions remained a persistent problem despite growing investments in crossings designed to help animals move safely across highways. Researchers argued that California needs more roadside fencing to prevent animals from entering traffic, particularly where existing bridges and culverts could provide safe passage beneath highways. “But just building a crossing doesn’t mean wildlife will use it — they’ll try to cross wherever they are. Fencing is the answer to reducing roadkill, not crossings alone,” said Fraser Shilling, director of the UC Davis Road Ecology Center. Thousands of animals killed on California roads Researchers estimated that vehicles killed more than 44,000 mule deer annually on California freeways, highways and major paved roads between 2016 and 2024. That represented nearly 10% of the state’s estimated 475,000 mule deer and more than four times the number reported killed by hunters in 2024. The report

California is Funding New Research on Psychedelic Treatments for Veterans

California is investing in new research exploring psychedelic treatments for veterans facing mental health challenges. The California Initiative for Precision Medicine is offering grants to study how psychedelic therapies could help veterans struggling with conditions including depression, anxiety, substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder. Some studies have shown promising results, suggesting psychedelic treatments may offer new options for people who have not responded to traditional therapies. The initiative plans to award up to four million dollars over the next several years to fund research projects examining the potential benefits and effectiveness of these treatments. California is home to nearly one-and-a-half million veterans, many of whom face mental health challenges after returning from military service. Researchers hope the funding will provide more information about the safety and effectiveness of psychedelic therapies and help determine whether they could eventually become an additional treatment option for veterans.

California teachers urge 3-year pause on AI use in K-8 schools

The California Federation of Teachers on Wednesday urged Gov. Gavin Newsom to order a three-year pause on artificial intelligence in K-8 public school classrooms, citing concerns that schools are adopting AI tools without adequate protections for students and educators. The call followed Newsom’s September executive order directing state agencies to develop AI safety regulations, including a potential “kill switch” for certain AI programs during emergencies. In a news release, the union representing 120,000 educators and faculty urged Newsom to issue an executive order pausing AI use in classrooms before his term ends in January. “Students’ brain development shouldn’t be monetized for billionaire profit,” CFT President Jeff Freitas said in a statement. “This is a public health and safety emergency, and we need our leaders to treat it as one and act now.” As Newsom has largely embraced AI’s growth in California throughout his governorship, advocacy groups have urged him to impose stronger accountability and protections. The union said they sent a letter to the outgoing California governor, warning that unregulated AI could harm students’ development and limit teachers’ control over instruction. Educators aren’t prepared to supervise AI use, while students may struggle to tell which tools are safe or harmful,
